Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for measuring and displaying the track geometry of a track system by means of a track-driveable permanent-way machine having a control measurement system for measuring the track position to be corrected before a lifting and lining device, an acceptance measurement system for measuring the corrected track position after the lifting and lining device, and associated output units for displaying the measured values, wherein the lifting and lining device is controlled depending on the measured values of the control measurement system and the acceptance measurement system for the purpose of achieving a specified target track geometry, which is predetermined especially in form of a curvature image, longitudinal level image and superelevation image.
  • ballasted tracks Most tracks for railways are arranged as ballasted tracks.
  • the sleepers lie in the ballast.
  • the ballast is provided for dissipating the wheel forces into the subgrade, the absorption of transverse forces acting on the rail and the sleepers, and the drainage of the surface water. Irregular subsidence in the ballast and displacements in the lateral positional geometry of the track are caused by the acting wheel forces of the trains that travel over said ballast.
  • the subsidence in the ballast bed causes errors in the longitudinal level, the superelevation (in the curve), the twist and the track lining position.
  • the permanent-way railway machines are equipped with so-called acceptance measurement systems and acceptance recording systems.
  • So-called acceptance tolerances have been determined by the railway authorities for the quality of the track position after the improvement by the permanent-way machines or other methods. They represent the minimum requirements placed on the quality of the implemented geometric improvements. They are proven by acceptance measurement systems and acceptance recording systems.
  • the recorded results represent official safety-relevant documents. That is why such acceptance measurement systems and acceptance recording systems are subjected to regular calibration and acceptance by authorised parties.
  • the parameters to be disclosed, corrected and recorded are the twisting of the track, longitudinal level of the track, direction or lateral position of the track, the track gauge, and the transverse inclination or superelevation of the track.
  • the target geometries of the railway tracks are available in form of track plans and can be used after input into the control computer for calculating the systematic errors with knowledge of the behaviour of the measurement systems.
  • On track construction machines there is the front section operator who is responsible for controlling the machine concerning the target geometry and also concerning the acceptance by the data recorder. In the event of an error that is displayed by the acceptance recorder, the machine must travel back for example and repair the error so that the acceptance tolerances are maintained.
  • the front section operator of track construction machines sees the track geometry according to the currently used methods in form of curvature progressions of the track over the arc length.
  • the illustration occurs visually on a computer screen in form of diagrams.
  • the machine operator is shown diagrams on a separate additional screen which represent the deviations of the individual parameters from the target position.
  • the machine operator can enter additional corrective values depending on these deviations. If the track springs back, the machine operator can allow the track to be slightly overpressed by the machines.
  • the effects of the corrective value are only visible with delays because the acceptance recorder records the track position only approximately 10 m after the location where the track position is processed.
  • the recording of geometric track positions currently occurs as a standard mostly with asymmetric cord measurement systems (cord sections a, b).
  • a steel cord is centrally tensioned in this process between a front and a rear measuring carriage which is pressed onto the track on one side.
  • a measuring carriage is arranged and pressed on one side between these tensioning carriages.
  • the measuring carriage carries a scanning apparatus which measures of the position of the steel cord from the centre position. This value is known as arrow height.
  • the carriages are pressed to the outside of the bend for the direction.
  • the inner curved rail is used as a reference for the height.
  • the target curvature image is converted by means of the following arrow height formula into a target arrow height image (proportional to the curvature image).
  • the progression of the thus calculated target arrow height is compared with the measured actual arrow height during the measurement and the differences are recorded.
  • Acceptance limit values are specified for these differences by the railway administration authorities. This procedure is also used similarly for the longitudinal inclination curvature image.
  • the superelevation can be stated directly as a reference via the centroid axis and can be measured via a pendulum or other inclinometers, and the deviations can be stated by comparison with the target superelevations. Acceptance limit values also apply to the superelevation deviations.
  • Arrow height measurements are subjected to a so-called transfer function, i.e. the amplification and phase position of the measured errors are dependent on wavelength and correspond only qualitatively to the actual track geometry errors.
  • the invention is thus based on the object of providing a method of the kind mentioned above with which the target track geometry, the actual track geometry and the deviations from the target track geometry caused by imprecision in the work are to be illustrated in such a clear fashion that the probabilities for operating errors of the machine are reduced and intuitive control of the machine is enabled.
  • This object is achieved in accordance with the invention in such a way that first a three-dimensional position image is calculated from the curvature image, the longitudinal level image and the superelevation image of the target track geometry, that the three-dimensional position image is put into a perspective display and is displayed by means of the output unit, and that the perspective position image is supplemented by the measured error curves for the track parameters of track direction, superelevation, twist, and longitudinal level.
  • the target track geometry, the actual track geometry and the deviations from the target track geometry produced by imprecision in the work are shown in perspective in an image, in addition to the effects of corrective action by the machine operator, which image is substantially congruent with the view from his window in the working direction.
  • certain track markers synchronisation points
  • switch positions, bridge positions or main points of the curvature positions in the track in which the direction curvature image, the longitudinal inclination image or the superelevation image change
  • Synchronisation points are associated for this purpose with the target track geometry, which synchronisation points are illustrated at the respective positions of the respective illustration of the track progression, wherein a synchronisation of the actual synchronisation points on the track system is made with the virtual synchronisation points of the perspective display upon reaching the synchronisation points with the permanent-way machine.
  • the position of the permanent-way machine in the display of the output unit and the display of the current error values occurs continuously with the progression of the machine.
  • the view of the machine operator from his window in the working direction is thus always substantially congruent with the perspective illustration.
  • the progression of the residual errors is pre-calculated depending on the measured error curves and the performed control interventions are also displayed in the perspective illustration.
  • the track position in front of the permanent-way machine can be recorded with an image recording device
  • the position of the rails can be calculated with an image evaluation unit
  • the calculator position of the rails and the target track geometry can be displayed in perspective in the position image.
  • the machine operator can thus consider in advance any required corrective actions that need to be made by the operator. It is recommended for this purpose that the progression of the deviations of the track position to be corrected is calculated from the target position and trends are calculated and are displayed on the output unit in order to ensure adherence to the tolerances by timely intervention on the lifting and lining device.
  • Corrections of calculated deviations of the track position to be corrected from the target position in front of the lifting and lining device can be carried out in an automated manner by a control system of the lifting and lining device.
  • the machine Since the permanent-way machines mostly measure the arc length via odometers and they are provided with slightly imprecise values as a result of slippage, soiling of the wheel etc, the machine is synchronised at the synchronisation points with the target arc length.
  • synchronisation points in front of the permanent-way machine can be recorded with an image recording device and can be displayed in the perspective image from a preselected approach for synchronisation.
  • the synchronisation prevents the adding up of the measurement errors of the arc length.
  • the synchronisation can be carried out manually or automatically.
  • the target track geometry which is predetermined by the curvature images for the lateral position, the longitudinal inclination images for the height position and the superelevation images for the track superelevation is converted into a three-dimensional space curve and the target track geometry is subsequently displayed visually in perspective, on a screen or the like.
  • the detected deviations of the generated track position from the target position are entered in the perspective image and used for correction via the control unit, either in an automatic mode or manual mode.
  • Synchronisation points of the track which are used for synchronisation of the measured arc length of the track construction machine with the actual arc length are also shown in perspective with respect to their position, similar to other important track points such as switches, bridges, level crossings etc.
  • Automatic correction of the residual track geometry errors can occur for example by calculating the mean values of the recorded errors of the longitudinal level, the direction and superelevation (e.g. over the last 10 m), in that the average value of the respective errors is returned to the control unit of the permanent-way machine for correction (feedback loop). If the mean value of the superelevation error is at ⁇ 2 mm for example, the superelevated side is lifted higher by 2 mm by the permanent-way machine in order to compensate this error. The same also applies to the other measurement parameters.
  • the perspective image can be projected via a head-up projector onto the front window screen of the permanent-way machine and/or displayed with data goggles. Furthermore, the perspective image can be transmitted by a radio data line to a control centre remote from the operations site of the permanent-way machine for the purpose of monitoring the progress of the work, wherein the work can optionally be carried out in a remote-controlled manner from the control centre.

  • FIG. 7 represents the assembly in detail.
  • a calculated point (P i,0 ) with the coordinates (x i , y i ) in the x, y plane is supplemented by the z coordinate from the vertical plan view to form the three-dimensional point P i,1 with the coordinates (x i , y i , z i ). Since it concerns a right-hand arc, the superelevation u must be entered on the left rail.
  • the point P i,2 with the coordinates (x i , y i , z i +u i ) is obtained.
  • the track gauge d is deducted perpendicularly ( ⁇ 1/k si ) on the tangent t (ascending gradient k si ) in the layout plan. This leads to the point P′ i,0 with the coordinates (x′ i , y′ i ).
  • the z coordinate is supplemented to form the coordinates (x′ i , y′ i , z′ i ).
  • the superelevation on the outside curve
  • This deviation F′ is irrelevant for the perspective illustration and is therefore disregarded.
